It can also be used independently as an intensive preparation course to improve students’ level before starting the Focus on IELTS course.

There must be some famous bit of market research that I don’t know about going around ELT editors’ offices at the moment, because two different publishing companies have used the word “Foundation” to describe IELTS books that came out at almost exactly the same time. This is a review of one of the two, and also the story of my quest to find out what “Foundation” was supposed to mean to us all!

Starting with the back cover of the students’ book, Focus on IELTS Foundationgives me no more information on its purpose than to say it is “ideal preparation for the Focus on IELTS course but can also be used independently”. There could be more information in the teachers’ book, but I did not have access to it. The first thing I should say about Focus on IELTS Foundation, then, is that it does, indeed, achieve that first, limited aim of being an introductionary course for Focus on IELTS. The author has obviously been very careful not to double up on the language covered in Focus on IELTS and although the level is still fairly high it has been made easier by the use of simplified and shorter reading and listening texts. The problem with a textbook that is designed primarily not to clash with another in the series can often be that it is left with all the least suitable and/or interesting language points and topics to cover - in the way that you can sometimes spot which textbook in a series was written last just from the uninspiring and/or obscure unit titles, so I did have that question at the back of my mind when I started looking at it. The other question to judge this book’s success on is whether the choice of points and how they are covered does provide ‘a solid grounding in the key language and skills’ (quote from back cover) needed to move on to the next level and/or to take the exam or simply fill in some gaps that are not covered elsewhere.

Focus on IELTS Foundation is divided into 12 units, with some typically academic sounding IELTS topics (Earth Matters, Animal Rights and Wrongs, Appropriate Technology). This might be a good time to point out that the book does not cover the General Training modules (although again that information is hidden away inside the book) so academic topics are vital for students to cover. There are also some more general sounding topics (Read All About It, Communications) and one very obscure sounding one (Buildings and Structures). Each unit covers Speaking, Grammar and Vocabulary, and alternate units cover Reading, with the others covering Listening and Writing.

Shorter, achievable exam-type tasks build students' exam skills, before students try the more challenging tasks at authentic test level. The test practice sections at the end of each unit together constitute a whole sample IELTS test.Step Up to IELTS Self-study Student's Book by Vanessa Jakeman and Clare McDowell is a must read book

202 Useful Exercises for IELTS provides students with specialised reading, writing, grammar & vocabulary exercises. The book is designed to help you learn English even if you're not preparing for an IELTS exam. Improve your English today!

The book is divided into 5 sections, each of which focuses upon topics relevant to the IELTS exam: Communication and the Arts, The Environment, Technology, Politics in Australia, and Youth and Education.

After a slow start, authors, particularly in Australia, have woken up to the fact that the ever increasing numbers of candidates for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) warrant a ready supply of supporting textbooks. Both previous issues of the EA Journal have included reviews of home produced, but not homespun, books focused in IELTS preparation.Now, Terry Peck and Garry Adams have published a remarkably useful, compendious volume of practice tests and test-taking strategies.

The 168 pages are divided evenly into four practice tests and ‘101 Helpful Hints’. Following the table of contents, (the authors) list seven steps under ‘How to use this book’. The reader is advised to do the tests one by one, then to use the ‘Help’ section to review any mistakes. The hints are arranged under the macro-skills, corresponding to the IELTS sub-tests of listening, reading, writing and speaking. These are preceded by a section entitled ‘Basic Hints’. All the advice is sound and bears the hallmark of teachers well-versed in exam preparation techniques.

The layout of the book lends itself to a Test – Teach – Test approach. Practice Tests Three and Four are rated more difficult than One and Two, The authors painstakingly refer the reader to what they consider the relevant ‘Helpful Hint’ at every turn in the practice tests. As these hints recur in each respective sub-test, students become familiar with the strategy being taught.

The book concludes with an appendix of tapescripts, an answer sheet, answer keys, a score interpreter, further reading list and glossary. There is an accompanying cassette with two practice listening tests.

In scope, this book goes well beyond most collections of practice tests, whose authors are content to provide a set of test look-alikes. There is a wealth of material for IELTS candidates to improve their performance in the test. The comprehensive treatment of the writing and speaking sections points to the writers’ awareness that students too often under-prepare for these sub-tests. After all, it is easier to do and score practice listening and reading tests. In fact, there is so much exam-focused material of a thematic, structural and lexical nature, that IELTS will soon become an achievement rather than a proficiency test!

101 Helpful Hints for IELTS is an important addition to the resources available to both IELTS teachers and students. Highly recommended.
